Sure, it's possible for babies to get teeth early. My OB/GYN just told me yesterday that her son got teeth well before he was 4 months old and my own son got two teeth at 31/2 months old. We tried everything to help him...cold teething toys, vibrating teethers, ice chips in one of those mesh feeder bags, otc medicine (be careful though, some medicines aren't for less than 4 months) and unfortunately some of those things worked some days other days not. I think you just have to keep trying different things from your "bag of tricks" every day to see what will help that moment. Once your baby is old enough though you should try those baby teething swabs. They are great since you can get all over their gums with the swab. The medicine is already inside. We are still using those as needed!

Ive been trying to figure out if its possible for my 10 week old to be teething! she has all the symptoms of teething. but i always heard they start teething later. and shes doing everything VERY early.
